Pokémon Gaming CentralFor topics that aren't necessarily restricted to one game, Pokémon Gaming Central ranges from comparing and contrasting the differences in the gaming generations to discussing the gaming franchise as a whole.

Hacked Pokemon are Pokemon made or modified in certain software. Usually, people hack illegal shininess, PokeRus or IVs (stats). There are very few signs of pokemon being illegal when viewing its summary and experienced hackers can avoid them well, but www.pokecheck.org is a great place to check legality.

If you trade by GTS, you want to check those Pokemon. GTS is full of hacks, unfortunately.

For the most part, any established trade shop is gonna be safe. They usually know what to look for, or have someone check for them, so trading here is pretty nice. Most new shops won't offer hacks either, and if it does, it's usually caught pretty quickly, if not during the approval process.

Just to check my understanding, as well, it seems that Hacking is a no no (and for me personally, a big one), and the number one way to check it is via Pokecheck, though that is by no means a guarantee. In the same way that a very well done counterfeit can pass as legal tender, and using it isn't inherently doing something wrong (it's legal tender for all intents and purposes) and the only person actually guilty of wrongdoing is the person creating it, if a hacked pokemon escapes your notice but ends up being traded to someone else who catches it, as long as you seek to rectify the situation you're probably fine. On the other hand, creating such monstrosities and trading them or failing to rectify the situation when a hacked pokemon is discovered will get you in trouble.

Conversely, cloning pokemon is not just acceptable to some members of the community, it's understood as a normal practice for those who want to collect event and legendary pokemon, though you should make sure the person you're trading with is aware the pokemon in question is cloned and is ok with that before proceeding with the trade. When dealing in cloned pokemon setting rules regarding redistribution (redis) is doubly important, as (eventually) having dozens or more copies of a pokemon floating around with someone's OT can get them in trouble. Go figure, the same resource, pokecheck, appears to be the easiest way to clone a pokemon as well.

Yes that is correct. However the easiest way to clone a Pokemon is actually through an Action Replay, though some people are extra stingy and will only take GTS glitch clones, which means they won't take cloned events.

Does all that sound about right?

You can really only clone Pokemon with your OT after you register your game save using Pokecheck. You cannot clone others Pokemon since it will attach a Premier Ribbon to the Pokemon, therefore making it illegal to trade here. Only the Pokemon with the OT's of the game saves you register yourself can be cloned without the ribbon being attached.

Oops, I neglected to mention that :P Thanks EV. To add on, I condemn downloading other people's .pkm files to get around this for trading. Though there is no way to tell, I'd ask everyone to take the moral highroad. Also, I can't speak for everyone else, but I'm fine with you downloading Pokemon off of Pokecheck to use as breeding parents, but only as long as you release them when you are finished with them.

Hi! I'm new to this website and I don't really know where to go for simple trades I feel like everybody wants event pokemon and here I am trying to trade some Snivys for other starters, ~RNC~ was nice enough to trade me a Ditto so that I could breed Snivys, but I don't know how to go about finding people for non Legendary/Event pokemon..

Just post in Quick Trade Thread. I'm pretty sure someone will have the Pokemon you need and won't want something extraordinary or will just give the desired Pokemon for free. Everybody was a newcomer one day and fortunately for you, some of us still remember those days

Good luck and have fun

The process of moving my pokemon for event trading is proving to be rather long. Also, my computer is consistently derping the internet connection. I am working on my shop still, but it won't be ready within the week I said before.

I am very much looking forward to getting my shop going at full speed again. I decided to keep my old shop, cuz I like the name and it has a high post count already. Getting a new banner made for it would just be a hassle.

So I'm looking for some distributors for my next giveaway, any takers? Lol short and to the point.

Really going to need help with distributing the Pokemon I'll be offering for the next giveaway as it is quite a few. Of course their are 'rewards' so if anyone is interested let me know. Different time zones are greatly needed and if you can clone yourself that's even better
